Create Lasting Change

Speaker: Laura Letters

Since 2013, we have led the effort to make sure the children in our community’s most vulnerable populations don’t fall through the cracks. The Learning and Language Center at Calico was founded by Speech and Language Pathologists and Early Intervention Specialists who wanted to create a program of excellence for all children to succeed in the future. Believing that early intervention is the key to future academic, social, and personal success for children, the founders decided to offer a program that serves the most vulnerable populations: low income, refugee, hearing impaired, under-served, under-insured, at risk, and special needs. We provide year-round speech/language therapy, occupational therapy, social skills, and academic readiness groups to prepare young children, ages 18 months to 6 years, to participate at a level commensurate to their peers when they enter Kindergarten. We are committed to creating lasting change for Treasure Valley families by improving the lives of all children through communication and education.

ImpactClub® Boise, ID co-founderMike Turner

I’ve been intoxicated with the concept of ImpactClub® from the moment it was born. Watching our club grow to 200+ members and seeing the Impact we’ve had on our community in such a short time overwhelms me with pride. Our members are amazing and the foundation of how we continue to grow our reach and impact throughout the community. More Members is More Impact. Will you stand with us?

FAQ's QUESTION: I’m not sure how to Nominate my favorite Non-Profit? ANSWER: Before every quarterly event there a 2 week window to nominate. This window starts approx. 45 days before the next event.

GOOD, YOU'RE A FIGHTER!

Welcome to Impact Club®.

The DNA of the Impact Venture Capitalist & The Strength of the 5 Character-types, is what makes Impact Club special. We are not like most people. What we say, we do! We don’t talk. And what we believe, we act on!

Growth Hacker

What the hell is a growth hacker? Let's put it this way. If you don't know what it is, then you're not one. These mythical beings used to reside in the confines of Silicon Valley. Behind every unicorn and fast-growth startup, was a Growth Hacker. Over time, the application of their methods broadened. Their job isn't to "do" marketing as most marketers do. It's to grow companies really fast to take something from nothing and make it enormous within an incredibly tight window. In a phrase: They don't focus on linear growth. They focus on building self-sustaining and self-propagating growth engines.

Conscious Capitalist

This is a new breed of entrepreneur. They understand the importance of being world-renowned storytellers. These people are driven by a Heroic purpose—to impact the lives of all stakeholders; including customers, employees, suppliers, investors, and society. Through their immense purpose they create evangelists who sing their praises. These visionaries don’t just sell products or services. Eventually, they strive to transform our current world.

Charitable Founder

The defining characteristic of this person is conviction. They are out to right a wrong. To defeat an enemy. To embolden the weak. To uplift the unfortunate. They are ruthless in the name of compassion. In a word, they are fighters. They text message. They send emails. They organize. Their weapon is the message. Their mission is the cause. And despite the direction, all roads point forward.

Affected Family

You know who you are. If your child has fought leukemia. Battles Diabetes. If you’ve lost a sister or mother to breast cancer. A brother to Parkinson’s. A parent to ALS. Or any family member to any other disease. Then you’ve been affected. And these people, they fascinate me. They find strength and conviction in the courage of loved ones. They find hope and inspiration, in times of despair. They’ve seen loved ones at their strongest. And weakest. And most, to honor that family member, have made a vow.

The Connector

It’s not by accident this person is always flooded with opportunity. His singular focus is on relationships. In the words of Tim Ferriss, “My network IS my net worth.” And that motto, is one he’s adopted wholeheartedly. The Connector, he understands: relationships are a conduit to business. To new partnerships. To new opportunities. To fun and adventure. When asked about his success. He keeps telling people. “It’s not what you know. It’s who you know.” But they don’t believe him.

The Pledge

Check the boxes below to commit to the following statements:

I understand I am making a commitment to ALL ImpactClub members in my local community, to make a quarterly donation (4 times per year) of $100. I also understand that my donation will go direct to the local charity at each ImpactClub Event who wins by majority vote, likely the result of having the strongest "StoryEngine."

Even if I didn’t vote for the charity selected by majority vote, I swear to fulfill my $100 donation commitment without delay or hesitation.

For safety and convenience. I understand that ImpactClub has integrated with The Giving Group, a well-respected payment processor and registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, to facilitate online donations. (This gives each member an immediate tax-receipt, and guarantees that local charities receive every cent of ImpactClub member’ donations.) Further, I know I can manage my account and donation method from inside the Member Portal. Even cancel my membership.

ImpactClub videos and photographs every event. Photos or videos that I am in may be used by ImpactClub for web content, advertising, etc. I also understand that to inspire others to step up, to make a difference, to grow & strengthen the chain of inspiration. ImpactClub believes it must lead-by-example and encourages ALL members to share and talk about the collective impact each Club is making in local communities.
